What You'll Need
- one 4 x 6 double sided mat pad by K & Company called "re*make" 100% recycled paper printed with soy ink
- one hole punch, one emboss plus punch by Fiskars
- hemp string
Instructions
Step 1: using a paper cutter, cut one sheet of 4x6 double sided mat down the center of the sheet, this will give you 2 pieces approx. 2.5 in. x 7.5 in. now cut off the 3/4 in. white part on top. You now have two pieces approx. 6 3/4 in long by 2.5 in wide.
Step 2: fold one piece in half with pattern on outside. Unfold and place the corner of one end in the emboss and press then move to the punch side and press down. Repeat with the opposite corner. Repeat with second piece of paper.
Step 3: Punch a hole in the top middle section of each of the papers, attach a length of hemp string ( 4 in.) tie a knot and you now have 2 eco friendly gift tags!

Joanne, your right recycle is best, however, when you make your own greeting cards, it can be a challenge finding 100% recycled cardstock with nice patterns/colors and printed with soy ink. It is nice to know there is a company that gives us that option. Wouldn't it be nice if all those greeting cards you received were made with 100% recycled paper and soy ink? Just a thought.......
